Australia’s selfie service will change the way you take selfies

Put away the selfie sticks, people. Australia has come up with a cooler – and less socially awkward – alternative.

In a bid to attract more Japanese tourists, Tourism Australia has launched the ‘GIGA Selfie’. The campaign features a service that lets tourists take grander selfies by having them stand on specific locations, then get a faraway camera to snap away via an app.

The result is a selfie that can be zoomed out to show the surrounding landscape!
